Does DiceKeys.app stream to a server? #19

When I use Safari on iOS 14 with an iPhone X, and then I tap the screen I see controls which say "Live Broadcast"...which is disconcerting, and built-in to iOS.

Likely all processing is local, otherwise this would be a total show-stopper. But this is disconcerting.

I'm really only going to feel comfortable with a pure native app. Maybe it's my bias as an iOS dev, but still.

I think it could be made more clear in documentation, discussion, explanations, etc. that the dicekeys.app site is simply a static hosting site for a web page that contains the offline dicekeys in-browser application.

The "app" is self-contained and runs offline in your browser, and it is not a "software-as-a-service" web application where the browser is a client interacting with servers and APIs hosted on the dicekeys.app domain. The latter is the first impression, so adding clarity to dispel that is helpful.

I'd imagine if they are accessing the (web) cam via a browser permission request the expected use case (huge assumption by Apple) would be live streaming, but I'm not sure of the mechanisms of photo capture vs streaming for automatic detection.

this is a quandary - I'd prefer local only but I don't know if this is possible to enforce in a native iOS app. I think if I ever become a celebrity and/or billionaire, I would probably move to a more advanced form of digital security (like a secret key kept in a lawyer's safe!).
